• Product description

  Watch the flyways while wrapped in a light and pretty demilune shawl. Paddock Shawl’s arcs of lengthening lozenges, expanding with concentric increases according to Elizabeth Zimmermann’s half-pi method, form a richly textured plumage. The garter-based fabric has no wrong side, and the half-circle shape laps the shoulders comfortably and stays in place. Slipped garter selvedges create a smooth and tidy top edge; block out scalloped points or leave the trailing edge straight according to your preference. Paddock Shawl is written for both Vale and Loft, so you can choose a delicate, refined effect or a larger farmstead-style shawl.

  Designer: Gudrun Johnston

  CONSTRUCTION

  • The shawl is worked from the top center outwards, beginning with a garter tab. It uses traditional half Pi Shawl construction (Elizabeth Zimmermann’s method) and is shaped using concentric sections of increases. As the radius of the shawl is doubled, so is the length of the curved perimeter.
